Seven years later, Imagine Entertainment sends another ship, The Melusine, to set sail for answers, a desperate ploy they hope will secure the company a legacy that is built on more than mediocre science fiction movies and rumors of a massive maritime hoax. In 2015, The Atargatis-a research vessel headed to the Mariana Trench on a scientific expedition to look for mermaids, supervised by Imagine, an entertainment company known for its horror movies-sailed off the map, leaving in its wake a murky narrative and a gruesome footage that bespoke a new and unsettling certainty: the so-called lovely ladies of the sea exist and they are out for slaughter. I'm glad this book is adding to the latter category. I read this at night because I like suffering (but with a nice soundtrack), and I'm convinced that there are too many stories of mermaids sitting on rocks in sexy poses braiding their hair, and not nearly enough stories about mermaids luring men to their deaths. I would like to preface my review by stating outright: I fucking loved this book.
